Message: [QUOTE="Dorkus Malorkus, post: 504454, member: 6020"] PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (2 handed) Button (t6661) Hero (t6839) Preflop: Hero is BB with 7c, Tc. Button calls t200, Hero checks. [I]I don't mind just checking and seeing a flop with a speculative hand like this, obviously[/I] Flop: (t625) 8c, 2c, 4d (2 players) Hero bets t400 [I]Villain had minbet out at practically every flop when either checked to or when first to act. As we know "most hands miss most flops", and from a couple of hands previously I had established that he doesn't minbet these flops with a big or even a decent hand (I'd called and led a blank turn when checked to in position with nothing a while ago just to 'test' him). I have a pretty big hand here - it's HU and with these blinds/stack sizes I may not see many better flops, and thus have any better opportunities to try this. I minbet because he will see it as a sign of weakness. If he shoves I have an awkward decision, but I'm confident he won't shove unless he has something, as serial minbetters have problems with putting all their chips at risk with weak hands or nothing at all (hence I'd fold to a shove). I expect him to make a small raise here or make a small turn lead when I check to him. In either case, my response will be to poooosh. [/I] Button raises to t1200 [I]Exactly what I expected to happen. He thinks we're weak, he's previously folded to a raise like this from me having minbet himself, so he probably thinks I will do the same.[/I] Hero raises to t6414, Button folds. [I]Weeeeee! I really, really don't think I'm getting called here, but I only make the move because I have a good hand to back it up with (flush draw + overcard + backdoor straights).[/I] Final Pot: t8239 Results below: No showdown. Hero wins t8239. [I]I guess this also serves as a guide to how to play those annoying guys who minbet every flop, too. They used to tilt me quite a lot.. :/[/I] [/QUOTE]
